Katelyn Nebesnick -- Gilroy, CA

Forward/Midfielder
5-7
Gilroy High School
OVYSL Sting

A phenomenal goalscorer with a stellar left foot, Katelyn is a two-time All CCAA player from Gilroy HS. She helped lead GHS to four consecutive TCAL Championships. She was team captain in 2009, 2010, and 2011. She is also a four-time honor student and two-time Athlete of the Month at GHS. Her high school team is coached by Jose Hernandez. Katelyn plays her club soccer for the Orchard Valley Sting. Her major is currently undeclared. Her parents are Lynn and Mike.

Coach Bolton: Katelyn just knows how to put the ball in the back of the net. I don't ever think I've seen her play a game where she didn't score at least one goal. It is incredible! She can score anyway needed but her left foot is one of the best I've ever seen. Katelyn really caught my eye last summer with her play, high level of fitness, and love for the game.

Fun Fact: Katelyn is also a field hockey star at Gilroy High School.

Karli Nestler -- Santa Rosa, CA

Midfielder/Defender
5-9
Santa Rosa High School
Santa Rosa United Soccer Club

A First Team All North Bay League center defender at Santa Rosa HS, Karli is expected to rule the midfield as a Warrior. She is a four-time North Bay League selection and led her team to the NCS quarterfinals in 2007 and 2008 and the NCS semi-finals in 2009 and 2010. Karli was also named Scholar Athlete in 2007, 2008, and 2010. Her high school team is coached by Nikki Kumasaka. Karli plays her club soccer for the Santa Rosa United Aftershock and head coach Emiria Salzmann. The Aftershock are 2010 State Cup Semi-finalists. Karli will be majoring in Kinesiology with the hopes of a career in sports medicine, physical therapy or personal training. Her parents are Katherine and David.

Coach Bolton: Karli is a gifted two-way player and a fierce competitor. She is the perfect defensive midfielder in our system. She has wonderful skill but at the same time a mean streak that will make her a terrific enforcer on the field. She really combines the skill of a forward with the size and toughness of a center back. There is no doubt in my mind she will elevate the play of our midfield.

Fun Fact: Karli can beat box (something the entire coaching staff can't wait to hear)!
